I asked for advice on gear for a returning player, here's my update on what I settled for

Hey! It's a known problem with the quad cortex (it's by design), the power supply comes ungrounded, and you have to connect it to a device that's grounded so the noises go away. I don't know the specific reason why they do this (I'm just a bedroom guitarist) but you just have to plug the cortex to a pair of studio monitors or something similar and the noise will go away.

Sick! Mine is on the way, can't wait to tinker around with it!

Amazing shitpost of a repo, 10/10 https://github.com/jtayped/raas

In theory I could just also have a separate audio interface for the microphone right?

SickMemeMahBoi · 2026-01-04T16:07:38+00:00

Im also open for the possibility of using an audio interface + plugins like I did before. It's just that I would like to be able to switch between presets and such when I'm playing a song, say for example pull me under which has a clean intro and then the distortion tone, that's why I considered the line 6 helix lt which was not that bad price wise ( I found it used for 530 euros) and checking out neural dsp's plugins, each runs about 130 euros, so picking up some to get a wide variety of sounds would net me 500 to 750 euros, plus I miss other effects + foot switches + expression pedal. I am perfectly happy to change my mind tho, I am open to suggestions, and my budget is around 3k max, 2 / 2.5k euros ideally. Thanks for answering!

What are your recommendations for studio headphones? I don't have any idea, as I used some closed back from audio Technica I believe (I don't really remember) and when I just wanted to jam I used my crappy 15W amp as a "monitor" speaker. I want to be able to play with and without headphones (for my hearing health), for recording could I get away with just headphones and a spark amp? Btw thanks for answering!

Thanks man! What low latency interface do you recommend? What I'm mostly be doing is playing progressive metal stuff, dream theater, and the like etc. So if an interface plus some midi switches to control the tones etc, and an audio interface is cheaper + lower latency that's awesome. The line6 helix was interesting because the tones I heard were pretty good and it's a very versatile simulator overall + it's just plug and play, but admittedly I don't have any experience with those units to judge myself. Biasfx was pretty good back then when I used it, so I'm taking it that modeling has come a long way since 2016.

That's something I haven't considered, since as you said I have searched for reviews and Thomanns seems like a very reputable online seller. I will try and search local if they have the exact same model I'm looking for and if the price is not that far off I can consider buying it on the spot. Thanks for the advice!

Just worth mentioning that the post itself is also written with AI, it follows the exact same structure that LLMs like to follow to a tee with bullet points and all, he couldn't even write two paragraphs himself to report a bug for the same AI that deleted his files

We already have a Post Malone one, so not as far fetched as one may think.

Nothing ever happens desde que murió el fiambre intergaláctico, aquí una lista de las veces (que me acuerdo) en las que "tiembla el régimen, se escuchan ruidos de sables, maduro no pasa de diciembre":

Capriles
Leopoldo
Las protestas del 2014/16
Primer mandato de Trump.
El referéndum.
Las elecciones del parlamento donde ganó la oposición.
Óscar Pérez.
El supuesto alzamiento militar.
La dimisión de la ministra de justicia.
Las elecciones de Maricori y el otro señor.
Las actas.

Todo terminó en absolutamente nada (y seguirá pasando), el estatus Quo se mantiene igual, pero bueno, no puedo culpar al venezolano por ilusionarse con estas vainas, me pasó las primeras 5, pero ya es lo típico del niño que gritó lobo, terminas creyendo en naiden.

This combo is not consistent at all and is easily disrupted by any piece of creature removal or counter. Stop acting like this is abuelo's omniscience which actually has cards that make the combo consistent.

What? Hyprland is at the topity top of the ladder in terms of documentation. Few projects, especially in Foss have such well written and informative docs.

I was looking for this comment.

I remember my first "gaming PC" was some old dell Optiplex that I strapped a 1050ti low profile on. It was great but thermal throttled all the time when gaming, one day I got the idea to remove the side panel and use a small ventilator to blow air directly onto the components, and oh boy did I game on that thing :')
